Summary
Here's a humorous look at one man's attempt to follow the Atkins diet
while eating at fast food restaurants. It's an experience most of us can
probably relate to. We want to eat low-carb meals fast, so in
desperation and out of some bizarre, twisted logic we suddenly decide
that fast food joints are the answer! Once there, however, we soon learn
that fast food restaurants really aren't doing a very good job of
offering low-carbohydrate menu items. But the situation is
improving. Subway jumped on the low-carb trend by striking an early deal
with the Atkins diet group. Now they offer "Atkins-friendly" menu items.
Burger King has a bunless whopper, as does Carl's Jr. But McDonalds? It
doesn't even pretend to be healthy, as this journalist so clearly
states. McDonalds is best known these days for the 30-day McDonalds diet
rather than any low-carb menu items.

Details
- Your diet has made my life a living carbohydrate-free hell.
- Bacon and eggs, followed the next day by more bacon and eggs (maybe
scrambled this time) and then, for variety, sausages and eggs.
- Had I the time and inclination, I could sit down with a tasty filet, a
small side salad with Bleu cheese dressing and maybe some baby asparagus
spears dressed in a butter sauce with my glass of Evian.
- The sandwich chain, famous for Jared and its low-cal subs, has struck
a deal with the late diet doc's estate to use the familiar name for its
Turkey & Bacon Melt and its Chicken Bacon Ranch wraps.
